I have been able to use maven 2 to work with a Seam project. Deploying everything has been fine and I have been able to expand my project as I read the documentation further.

One area I am experiencing problems with is running Integration tests based on testng and the SeamTest class. I implemented the examples under section 31.2. of the documentation, but I keep getting the following stacktrace, (included below). I started to play around with the examples back with CR2 and then decided to wait for the GA release, but I still experience the same problems. I was wondering if someone could help me understand the nature of my problem?

javax.servlet.ServletException: ServletContext not allow to getResourceAsStream for /WEB-INF/web.xml at org.ajax4jsf.webapp.WebXml.init(WebXml.java:113) at org.ajax4jsf.resource.InternetResourceService.init(InternetResourceService.java:133) at org.ajax4jsf.webapp.BaseFilter.init(BaseFilter.java:148) at org.jboss.seam.web.Ajax4jsfFilter.init(Ajax4jsfFilter.java:86) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter.init(SeamFilter.java:97) at org.jboss.seam.mock.BaseSeamTest.createSeamFilter(BaseSeamTest.java:961) at org.jboss.seam.mock.BaseSeamTest.init(BaseSeamTest.java:942) at org.jboss.seam.mock.SeamTest.init(SeamTest.java:42) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.testng.internal.MethodHelper.invokeMethod(MethodHelper.java:580) at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeConfigurationMethod(Invoker.java:397) at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeConfigurations(Invoker.java:145) at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeConfigurations(Invoker.java:82) at org.testng.internal.TestMethodWorker.invokeBeforeClassMethods(TestMethodWorker.java:166) at org.testng.internal.TestMethodWorker.run(TestMethodWorker.java:103) at org.testng.TestRunner.runWorkers(TestRunner.java:689) at org.testng.TestRunner.privateRun(TestRunner.java:566) at org.testng.TestRunner.run(TestRunner.java:466) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.runTest(SuiteRunner.java:301) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.runSequentially(SuiteRunner.java:296) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.privateRun(SuiteRunner.java:276) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.run(SuiteRunner.java:191) at org.testng.TestNG.createAndRunSuiteRunners(TestNG.java:808) at org.testng.TestNG.runSuitesLocally(TestNG.java:776) at org.testng.TestNG.run(TestNG.java:701) at org.testng.remote.RemoteTestNG.run(RemoteTestNG.java:73) at org.testng.remote.RemoteTestNG.main(RemoteTestNG.java:124)

Some other users have reported this problem. I'm not sure if they have found a pattern to make this work. I plan to produce a mavenized example for either 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 - this will include test support

To my knowledge no one's succeeded in running SeamTest's from Maven; given all the time I've spent on that myself and failed, I'd recommend waiting for Pete to struggle through it and tell us how it's done :)
